Trees

Grown from small, hardened off in our weather

Trees are where we started. Japanese maples, emerald cedar, western red cedar and pine, potted, watered and moved by hand, and stood through at least one Lake Cowichan winter before they go home with you.

What we have and what it costs

Trees are where we started, back when Dad sold cedar out of the back of a van. Every tree here has been potted, watered and moved by hand, and has stood through at least one of our winters before it goes home with you. Plant it and it knows what it is in for.
